The annual Lincoln Jaycees
Angel Tree is under way. The Angel Tree is a project to help the less
fortunate children of Logan County. Tags with these children's names are
placed on "Angel Trees" around the county. Employees or customers then pick
a child from the names on the tree and buy them gifts. The Lincoln Jaycees
distribute these gifts to the families in time for Christmas.

The public can find the Angel Trees at
the following locations: Cracker Barrel, ALMH cafeteria, CEFCU,
Blades Hair Salon, Illini Bank, Daisy's Hair and Nail Salon, and
State Bank of Lincoln. Trees are also located at Eaton, Family
Medical Center, Verallia, Sysco and International Paper for their
employees.

Gifts need
returned to businesses by Dec. 10.

The Lincoln Jaycees purchase gifts
to go with any names not picked from the trees. If you would like to
make a monetary donation, send it to: Lincoln Jaycees, P.O. Box 254,
Lincoln, IL 62656.

The Lincoln Jaycees are a
not-for-profit organization serving Lincoln and the surrounding
communities. The Lincoln Jaycees give young people between the ages
of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for
themselves in the areas of business development, management skills,
individual training, community service and international
connections. Membership meetings are on the third Thursday of each
month at 7 p.m. at the Lincoln Jaycees Center, 325 S. Chicago St.,
and are open to everyone.
